BILLED by the New York Times as “fiercely serious and bruisingly hilarious”, the hugely successful and award winning show the Love Hungry Farmer returns to Limerick for a stint in the Lime Tree on July 26-27 this week.

Adapted and performed by Des Keogh from Letters of a Love-Hungry Farmer by John B Keane and fresh from a run in the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin, the play tells the story of John Bosco McLane, a bachelor of ‘indeterminate’ age and according to his own assessment, ‘past his best’ and evidently still a virgin.

McLane’s amorous adventures range from the hilarious to the pitiful.

See Lime Tree Theatre for tickets.
